IMPOSING DEMONSTRATION.
Cardinal Gibbons Reviews the "
nj. Institute.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 23.-The
most imposing of many demonstra-
tions which have been held by the
Catholics of San Francisco, in honor
of Cardinal Gibbons visit to the Pa
ci6c Coast, was that which took place
to-day in front of st. Mary's Cathe-
dral. At the conclusion of the grand
ceremonies in the church an enorm-
Gus congregation assembled on the
sidewalks and the street outside OF the
cditice to witness the review OF the
Cardinal of the branches of the Young
Mems Institutes en- route to Oakland
to attend the ceremony of the laying
of the corner stone OF the new st. Ma
ry's College in the course OF erection
for the Christian Brothers of this city.
At the conclusion of the parade the
procession marched down the street
TO the ferry landing, where the party
embarked for Oakland to participate
in the ceremonies there. There
were between COO and 700
members in line. The corner
stone OF st. Mary's College was laid
with very impressive ceremonies and
was Witnessed by several thousand
people. About 3 O'Clock the Cardinal
took the Southern overland. train. He
will stop at Los Angeles and several
other points in Southern California
and in the Territories, on his way to
New Orleans. At. that place he will
make visit of several days and then,
by easy stages, continue his
Journey to his home in Baltimore.

PARIS. October 23.-Negotiations for
the conventions regarding the New
Hebrides Islands and the Suez Canal
have been concluded, and the conven-
tions will be signed tomorrow. That
relating to the Suez Canal provides
that the canal shall be kept open in
time of war; that no act Of hostility
shall be permitted at its approaches or
on its banks without line to be de-
termined by an international commits
sion; that belligerent powers shall
neither embark nor disembark troops
or war material on the canal or at
ports of access, and that if Egypt
proves unable to compel respect for
the treaty she will appeal to Turkey,
who in concert with the signatory
powers will take the necessary meas
ures to enforce obedience. 1t is re-
ported that Germany, Austria and
Russia have already approved the
Suez Convention. The New Hebrides
Convention confirms the agreement OF
1878 and 1879, and provides that any
action necessary to maintain order shall
devolve ON the English and French
men-of-war, and that France shall
eyacuate military posts.

A rlurderOus Italian Stabs N
Woman i'm the Back.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, October 23.-To-
night Mrs. Lizzie Adams was murder
ously assault ed by an Italian named
John Bosso while on her way home
from church. Bosso was intoxicated
and was annoyed by crowd of hood
lums who were tormenting him. FL
nally he became SO enraged that he
drew a knife and turned upon his tor
mentors. At that moment Mrs. Adams
passed and the frenzied man rushed
upon her and thrust the knife into her
back, the long blade passing through
her left lung. With a cry of pain the
innocent victim fell fainting to the
pavement and her assailant turned to
flee. The mob of hoodlums seized
him, however, and after beating him
with sticks and stones were only pre-
vented from lynching him by the in
tervention OF number OF determined
citizens who rescued the bleeding and
helpless man and gave him up to the
police. Mrs. Adams was carried to
her home. She is in a critical con-
dition and will probably die.

Associated Press Dispatches 10 the HERALD


SAN Francisco, October 21.-The
dead body of Heury Benhayon, who
has been employed with DR.. F..
Schwarzschild, dentist, was found at
his lodging on Geary street this alter
noon. Several bottles of poison stood
Oh the table in the room, from one OF
which Benhayon had drank fatal
dose. Benhayon is specially known as
the brother of Mrs. Cecilia Bowers, the
late wife of DR.. J. Milton Bowers, who
is now under sentence of death on the
charge of having by slow poison killed
his wife for her life insurance money,
in August, 1885. Benhayon was one
of the most important witnesses OF the
murder.
Three letters were left by Benhayon
addressed respectively to the Chroai-
Gle, to j. Milton Bowers, and to the
Coroner. The letter to Bowers be-
smirched the name of his (Benhay-
on's) sister. The one to the Chronicle
was an advertisement for blank
book that had been lost by the writer.
The letter to the Coroner has not yet
been made public, but it is indirectly
learned from one who has read the
letter that it relieves DR.. Bowers of
the responsibility of Mrs. Bowers
death, and places it on the shoulders
of Benhayon himself. These disclo-
sures have caused much comment
here. Bowers is now in the County
Jail awaiting sentence for the alleged
murder OF his wife, sentence so far be-
ing withheld pending an appeal to the
higher court.

had occasion to call into the Tribune
office when Mr.. Greely was there, and
I never shall forget a little incident
that, fortunate enough, made good
mechanic out of a poor newspaper
man. Mr. Greeley, you know, prided
himself that the columns OF the Tri-
bune never got left on any important
item of news.
"On the reportorial staff of the Tri-
bune at the time / speak of was a
dashing young Massachusetts, fellow
a man, SO New York newspaper men
said, who had a good nose for news.
The young man had been connected
with the Tribune but a week, when
one afternoon he was summoned into
the editorial sanctum by Mr.. Greeley
himself. l happened to be chatting
with Mr.. Greeley at the time, and re-
member the scared look on the re-
porter's countenance when he ushered
himself before the great Greeley, and
the conversation that then took place.
"'Young man, said Mr.. Greeley,
there is to be dinner at R to-
night, and l shall speak. Be there at

"The reporter bowed himself out of
the sanctum. AS further develop
ments proved, the newspaper man
had made arrangements to take his
girl to the opera that evening. He
was up a stump what to do. He was
afraid of Mr.. Greeley and he was
afraid of his girl. He consulted with
a reporter friend of his on rival
paper to the Tribune and his friend
thus talked: oh, that's nothing.
Guess you haven't been in New York
long. How much did Greeley say he
wanted? Column and a half? Oh,
that will be all right. You just get
into your claw-hammer and take the
gal to the opera. L know what Gree

Green and Josiah Smith in gam

of being participants in the late train
robbery on the Southern Pacific rail-
road, near Tucson, Arizona. They
were kept in Jail for the remainder Of
the night and were then taken to
Dallas for hearing before the United
States Commissioner. Green and Smith
have been here for short time and
have been regarded as professional
gamblers. As soon as his arrest was
effected Green weakened without any
solicitation on the part of the officers
and made clean breast of the whole
affair. He stated that he belonged to

was present and assisted in the big

A Trick of Speech.

Tricks OF speech grown into man.
nerisms often betray people into
blunders absurd enough. One in
stance of this comes from a town in
Maine, where dwelt man who was
qualified to reply to every question
with the word 'handy' twisted into
some sort of a conditional clause. 1t
was even asserted that he proposed to
the lady who became his wife by de.
claring he wouli like to marry her IF
she could make it handy" but this
very likely is fabrication of invidi-
GUS gossips.
Calling recently at house, of which
the late master was lying unburied in
the parlor, the visitor was asked if he
would like to see the remains OF his
old friend.
"Well, yes," he answered, "that is,
I'd like to see them if you've got 'em
round handy. If you haven't, it's no
matter. - Boston Courier.

SUNDAYS BASEBALL.
A Partial Umpire Stoned for Ellis
Decisions.


SACRAMENTO, October 23.-The Hav-
erly's shut the Atlas out in game
here to-day by score of 5 to moth
ing. The champions out-played the
home club at every point. lncell
pitched u great game, and while he
only caused one man to strike out,
only four scattering hits were made
off him. Hardie gave superb support
as did all the members of the nine.
Mallee's pitching was batted freely,
especially by Hardie and Donahue.
Lawton covered the third base in fine
style, his throwing to first being al
most dead-letter perfect. Newbert
played the best ball Tor
the Atlas and accepted his
six chances without an error.
O'Day also made some brilliant stops,
but two errors marred his record. A
young man named Foreman from San
Francisco umpired, and his decisions
throughout SO manifestly favored the
Haverly's, that he received the sever
est treatment ever accorded an UNI
pire in this city. He was hooted and
Kissed, and when the game was con-
cluded crowd of several hundred ex-
cited individuals made rush for him:
Officers Farrell, O'Mear, Stafford and
the Alta players surrounded him and
kept the crowd back while the umpire
hurried from the grounds. He entered
an omnibus and was driven hurriedly
away amid shower of stones thrown
by small boys.
One of the stones intended for
umpire Foreman struck Lou Hardie,
'Haverly's catcher, just below the
right eye, producing confusion and
badly discoloring the eye. He was
brought to town and the eye was
leeched after which the wound was
bandaged. The feeling against the
umpire is very bitter.

TURBULENT CROWS.
Measures to Prevent an Outbreak

itary preparations for the meeting Of
the expected trouble at the Grow
Agency, Montana, said some forty Of
the turbulent young Crows had been
at the Tongue River Agency with the
view of getting the Cheyennes there
to join them, but the latter refused to
do SO.
A troop of cavalry and company
Of infantry left Fort Keogh at noon
yesterday for the Tongue River Agency
with view Of insuring quiet. Three
companies Of infantry are held in
readiness at Fort Keogh Tor imnedi-
ate service, whenever circumstances
may demand. Three troops Of cav
airy and two companies OF infantry
have been. ordered from Fort Meade
to Fullock's Fork, between the Tongue
River Agency and the Crow Agency,
for service in case of any extended out
break by the Crows, and to prevent
them, should they be disposed to do
so, from breaking away m a south
easterly direction. At Fort Custer,
within five miles Of the Crow Agency,
there are five troops of cavalry and
two companies of infantry. There is
also one company of infantry immedi-
ately at the agency. Gen. Kruger

THE CzAR OF RUSSIA.
Aging Rapidly Under His Great
Nervous Tension.

1t is a genuine holiday, though, that
the Gar has gone in for, and a most
interesting letter from Fredensbourg
makes it evident that he would have
been a very good, kind-hearted sort of
a chap, enjoying life tremendously, if
he had not been noble born and an
autocrat. He goes on long walks,
gets up earlier than the many royal
personages in the castle, and plays by
the hour with the swarms of royal
children that fill the castle. In the
evening he sings with his mother-in-
law, the Danish Queen, and her
daughter. On Queen Louise's birthday
he sang with chorus of several
hundred children, and as the Queen
was delighted he made the chill
dren sing all over again, leading the
tune himself. All the members of the
royal party, Danish, English and
Greek, are very fond of their imperial
uncle, and they prefer him to all their
imperial uncles, of whom they have a
large choice. There are many things
about the Czar, however, which tell
how unusual for him is the gay life he
is now leading, and how anxious is
the life of that man whom thousands
of other men are anxious to kill. He has
grown quickly old. His face is worn and
shows great nervous tension. He often
smiles at Fredensbourg, luxury in
which he rarely INDUCES at home, but
his laugh is forced and lacks hearth
ness, as might be expected of man
who lives in constant dread of having
it drowned in the explosion of bomb
meant for himself. Whenever he rides
into Copenhagen, lifting his hat to
crowds which throng the streets, it is
noticed how quickly he has grown bald.
He has left far behind in that respect
his wife's bald brother-in-law, the
Prince of Wales. Often when he is
expected the Gar does not appear, or
takes different route, and his ar
rangements, even for shooting or fish
ing, are frequently changed at the last
moment for fear OF Nihilistic attacks.
How much he must envy the Prince
of Wales, known among the royal
children as "Uncle Bert" who goes
about everywhere without any pre-
cautions, and is supposed to stand a
good chance of being gnominated tothe
Presidency if the worst should come
to the worst and his country suddenly
take notion to turn into Republic.

The Inventor Of Shorthand.

There has been held in London
during the week an International
Shorthand Congress, which assembled
to celebrate the jubilee OF Isaac Pit
mans system OF photography and the
tercentenary of the stenographic
method OF reporting, which originated
with DR.. Timothy Bright. Bright's
"Characterie," published in 1887,
seems to have been the earliest Eng
lish manuel of shorthand, and il
had numerous successors, none oi
which ever became popular, how
ever, till Pitman hit on the pho.
netic principle as the basis of stenog
raphy. 1t has recently been ascer
tanned that the credit of inventing the
first system of shorthand writing by
sound belongs to Rev. Phineas Bailey
native of New Hampshire who had
settled in Vermont, and published a
book setting forth his system IN 1919
This was eighteen years before Pit
mans "Stenograpic Sound-hand" saw
the light, but to the latter is, never
theless, accorded the credit of being
the father of modern shorthand

Mr.. Greeley grabbed the retreating
form of the pencil-shover and actually
booted him down stairs and into the
street.
The editor tried to recall the great
edition Of the Tribune, but it was too
late. He sent men all over the city
with instructions to buy every morn
ing Tribune in New York. Said he:
Buy them at any costl"
"Mr. Greeley paid as high as so
cents a copy for some of the papers,
but the speech that he didn't make
was the gossip of all New York for a
week. The reporter never dared to
show his face to Mr.. Greeley after
that night. He dropped the scribe's
pen like a boiling-hot potato and went
West, believe. He made splendid
mechanic.
''On the way to the Tribune office
every morning Mr.. Greeley always
stepped into periodical store and
bought the Tribune and every paper
printed in New York." continued the
Ellsworth merchant. "He told me
one day that he always bought his
own paper when he was within three

"I've seen Mr.. Greeley walk into
church while the parson was praying,

throwing big bundle Of newspapers

pew was the next in front of mine.
In five minutes after he was comforta-
bly, settled among his newspapers he
was mapping. People used to tell me
that the ablest preacher in New York
city couldn't keep Horace Greeley
awake of Sunday morning."
